      Due to the dense small cell deployment to cope with the increased data traffic of fifth generation (5G) networks, the direct backhaul (BH) connection of all small cells to the core network becomes challenging. To that end, ...
    • Energy and spectrum efficient user association in millimeter wave backhaul small cell networks 

      Mesodiakaki, Agapi; Adelantado Freixer, Ferran; Alonso Zárate, Luis Gonzaga; Di Renzo, Marco; Verikoukis, Christos (2017-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Macrocells are expected to be densely overlaid by small cells (SCs) to meet increasing capacity demands. Due to their dense deployment, some SCs will not be connected directly to the core network, and thus, they may forward ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      In the next few years, small cells (SCs) are about to be densely deployed to achieve sustainable capacity enhancement. Due to the expected high SC density, some SCs will not have a direct connection to the core network, ...
    • Nonuniform traffic distribution model in reverse link of multilaterate/multiservie WCDMA/based systems

      Article
      Accés obert
      This paper focuses on the modeling of the reverse link of a wideband code division multiple access system in a nonhomogeneous environment with a single cell. Multiple traffic spatial and service nonuniformities are considered ...
    • Using simulation to provide alternative solutions to the flowshop sequencing problem

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      In this paper we present SS-GNEH, a simulation-based algorithm for the Permutation Flowshop Sequencing Problem (PFSP). Given a PFSP instance, the SSGNEH algorithm incorporates a randomness criterion to the classical NEH ...
